I See YouThe xx

Rated 2/10

I literally had an album by The XX yesterday, so I'm just going to copy and paste my review from yesterday:

"More boring indie slop. The singers sound as bored as I am. At least its only 38 minutes but it feels twice as long."

Rated 2/10

More boring indie slop. The singers sound as bored as I am. At least its only 38 minutes but it feels twice as long.

Sounds like a soundtrack to a Wes Anderson film. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've heard at least one of these tracks in his films. Anyways, decent record.

Man, this slapped. Such a great mix of soul, punk and ska. "Boanin' In The Boneyard" sounds like Mario Kart and I mean that as a compliment.

These certainly are the songs of Leonard Cohen, for better or for worse. I get the appeal, just I'm more of a music over lyrics guy so he just don't really do it for me as much as some other folks. Great lyrics, but I need some riffs or something. I dunno.

Man.... this goes fucking HARD. Love her delivery and the sound of her voice. Plus, 10 tracks in 35 minutes? All killer, no filler!

This one brings me back to my 20s when in addition to metal I dabbled in hipster bands, too. This is a very solid record. Even more so than I remembered.

Just caterwauling over shitty quasi-funk. It's really sad that this dude got to make so many albums of slop and we only got one masterpiece from his much more talented son.

Rated 8/10

It's a shame that in America they're mostly known for Song when they have so much more to offer.

Man, for a folk group, these guys can shred. It's rare where I add every song on an album to my liked songs my first time listening but this is excellent.

Not really into club music so I give them a lot of credit for letting me know from the jump that this wasn't going to be for me. Back To Life is a banger, though.

This just made me want to listen to old soul and jazz, so I guess it was effective in that way? Ain't No Other Man slaps, though. Decent white girl album. Probably didn't need to be a double.

Eric is a good guitar player who does really good work with other artists. His solo stuff has always bored me, though. This album hasn't done anything to change how I feel.
